We had a group of 25 people at two tables for a graduation celebration. When we walked in we immediately loved the ambiance/atmosphere in Blue on Highland. We had one server and were a little concerned it might be too much for her to handle 25 of us..we were wrong. Kristen was great! The menu was varied and delicious. We especially loved the mussels. Everybody in our party of 25 was very satisfied. Thank you Blue on Highland!

It’s always busy at lunchtime and a bit noisy. Even as I say noisy, somehow it just becomes a din & is not annoying. Maybe because service is excellent & food is too. They get you in & out if that’s what you want or let you sit & enjoy your company. Delightful!

Love this place! The staff is friendly, and my husband and I can enjoy a nice dinner -- with our kids. I had the BEST lobster roll the other night. Paired with a glass of wine, it was a really nice Mother's Day Dinner :)

We came to the conclusion that the chef must smoke because every dish was very over-seasoned. The vinagrette on my salad make my mouth pucker - way too much lemon. I couldn't finish it. My husband's risotto had way too much blue cheese (weird choice anyway) and his cucumber cocktail tasted like water. My fish tacos were very good though and the service was very friendly and attentive. So it was okay, but won't hurry back.

After several years of not visiting Blue on Highland, I was very excited made a reservation and brought several couples along. We arrived on time Sat nite was greeted and the told before we were even seated (our reservation was at 6:30pm) that we had to be excited by 8PM because of another party arriving at that time. SHOCKED, and very surprised by this statement our dining experience was shattered. We felt very uncomfortable during the evening. I spoke to the manager when leaving explaining our experience, without satisfaction.

We arrived with an 8:15 pm reservation. We were sat along the backside of the bar. You knew every time the bartender used a bottle along the wire wall. We were given bread and water to start. We then waited about 10 or more minutes for a server. The server stated she wasn't our server but could get drinks for us. I told her we were ready to order so she took the whole order. Then we received the drinks, not sure who dropped them off. Then I received a salad. The meals may have been brought by our server, again not sure. Someone did check on us half way through the meal. I never did get a refill on my soda or anymore water. We ran out halfway through the meal. The food was good. I had the lobster ravioli and it was delicious. Just wish we had more interaction with our server. When you are paying a decent price for a good meal, I don't like it to be fast food service.

I went to lunch with a friend. We had the most delicious meal. I had a turkey burger with all the fixins, no bun and sweet potato fries. My friend had the soup of the day, split pea and the buratta salad. Our food was spectacular! Izzy our waitress is superb. Friendly and attentive in a very lovely way. Izzy helped make our experience fantastic. We love Blue anyway, but today it was very special!

Love coming here and meeting a friend for lunch or dinner. Food,service are excellent! Sometimes a bit noisy but not always! Sat in an enclosed booth and it was perfect! Seems to be one of my preferred meeting places!

Friendly, attentive service. Lots of menu options - but not for vegetarians or vegans. Even the salads had steak and bacon. I'm sure they would've left off certain items, yet it would've been nice to see one or two interesting vegetarian options.My salad was good yet my friends' lobster bisque was "very average". I would still give this restaurant another try, because I enjoyed the atmosphere and good service (reservations, hostess and server).

We were able to get a booth...which helps a LOT with the noise! We LOVE their sweet potato fries, shrimp tacos and caesar salad. We make this a regular when my friends and I meet monthly to catch up. Plenty of options and haven't been unhappy with the food yet.
